After my 2nd post (concerning the 22nd May sketches) I was invited to formally introduce myself, so here goes.
What I have in common with Stephan the aardvarke:
1) We have the same name. Mine was typed on my birth cirtificate in 1969 (before laser printers).
2) I mourn the decline of the dot com industry, as he and I seem to have suffered a very similar fate in that regard.
3) I was a prime target for bullies all through school (so in that I can empathise with Ozy also).
4) I like web comics and PC games.
5) I'm attracted to women but awkward around them (but not as inept as the other Stephan).
What I DON'T have in common with Stephan the aardvarke:
1) I'm not an aardvarke (obviously). I used to define myself as a kangaroo, being a herbivorous Aussie who likes to move about on foot long distances and enjoy the fresh air (I hate cities, but I'm stuck here for employment's sake). After I began using the avatar of my foxaroo character I accidentally became drawn into that persona.
2) I live in Sydney, Australia not Seattle.
3) I attend church services at Fox Valley community church (how perfect!
). We call each other "fox church members" or "foxes" for short.4) Compared to Stephan Aardvarke I'm the epitome of humbleness.
5) I would be more likely to spend time in conversation with Ozy & Millie than Avery (in fact I'd avoid Avery).
6) One romantic infatuation at a time is sufficient for me (and I'd avoid someone like Felicia).
7) I'm a prankster (but not irresponsible).
8] I have no strong opinion toward either Microsoft Windows or Bill Gates, although I'd like to see a lot more diversity in the Information Technology industry.
9) In addition to my interests above, I also have a fascination for Australian wildlife (I used to assist in the rehabilitation of injured & orphaned native animals), and I'm a railway enthusiast (American = "Railroad"). How come there are never any trains in Ozy & Millie? Doesn't the BNSF run through their city?
Hope you enjoy your stay!
